Are you suggesting the press not report stories that might offend Muslims? Even stories as benign as a Koran being flushed down a toilet? We've had to tolerate seeing beheadings, Americans being shot on tape after having their helicopter hit with rockets, Americans being immolated and hung from bridges. Do we riot? NO. Because we are civilized.

I've got a problem when a story is twisted and not acurate

General Craddock, our commander of Southern Command, has been in Guantanamo for the last couple of days digging into this issue to see if there was a time when the Koran was not respected. I can tell you that the version of the Koran that we provide to detainees is approved by the ICRC. So we're very careful about that. They have looked through the logs, the interrogation logs, and they cannot confirm yet that there were ever the case of the toilet incident, except for one case, a log entry, which they still have to confirm, where a detainee was reported by a guard to be ripping pages out of a Koran and putting in the toilet to stop it up as a protest. But not where the U.S. did it.
